Soon after their weekend escapade to Paris, TwoSet's 2018 Europe and America tour started. They had packed everything in advance and traveled all the way to cold, cold Helsinki, in Finland. Brett would Snapchat almost everything they would do, kind of annoying Eddy at some point.

Since it was autumn and Helsinki was a really cold place altogether, the boys and their accompanist, Sophie, were always wearing really warm clothes. Yang would even hide his face up to his nose in his warm coat if the chilly breeze was too much for his Aussie self. Chen would find that so cute, he would often fluff his partner's hair as a sign of affection.

Sophie didn't know they were dating yet. She knew they were really good friends and they were always close, so nothing seemed out of the ordinary if they were being a bit touchy with eachother. However, it was a lot harder for the violinists. They had to stop themselves from holding hands, because of the fear that what happened with the editor would happen again. So they kept everything low-key.

At the hotel they were sleeping in, Sophie had a separate room but Brett and Eddy had a double bed to sleep in. When Sophie asked why they didn't take two separate beds, they said it was to save some money. Stupid excuse, but they had to say something.

During the first evening they spent at the capital, the trio went to a finnish restaurant. Brett would still post everything on social media. At one point, Eddy spilled his drink on his "coda" shirt because his partner surprised him with a photo. Sophie laughed along, mostly because it was her idea to scare him.

“Come on! That's not funny,” he complained.

“Actually, yeah, it is,” Brett snickered.

“Guyyyyys...” Eddy whined. “That's bullying.”

“Stahhp! Bullying!”, Brett mimicked before bursting out laughing again.

Later that evening, when everyone was walking back to the hotel, Sophie asked Eddy if she could talk to him under four eyes, in her room. He agreed, wondering what was going on. When they arrived, Brett went to his room and the other violinist followed the pianist to hers.

She gestured Eddy to sit on the bed, next to her. He asked:

“So, what's wrong?”

Without replying, the girl inched closer to him, placing a hand on his thigh. “I was thinking.. Since we're on tour and will be close for a month or so..” She placed her other hand on his chest. “We might as well get to know eachother even more...”

Chen let out a nervous laugh before calmly pushing Sophie back to where she was. “I'm sorry, I can't.”

The pianist confusedly shook her head. “Wha- why?”

Before the violinist could even reply, she put her hands in front of her mouth. “Wait... You and Brett?”

He still didn't respond, even though he knew it was too late; she understood. “Uh. Yeah. Just.. Please don't talk about it. We're keeping it low-key.”

She scoffed. “Yeah, I noticed. Don't worry.” She winked and smirked at Eddy. “Your secret is well hidden with me...”
